Know your enemies well
They enter your life
Disguised as your friends
Know your enemies well
They're in the next room
Waiting for you to fall asleep
Why?
I don't know how you can live such
Lie
To yourself, now I know who you are
Why?
I can forgive, but I'll never forget
How you put a price on my head!
So little I can say
And less that I can do
To make you understand
These things you put me through
There's got to be a better way!
There's got to be a better way!
They're trying to silence my voice
They're feeling uncomfortable hearing my words
They wish I would shut the fuck up
Exposing the enemy
Truth always comes at a price
Why?
I don't know how you can live such
Lie
To yourself, now I know who you are
Why?
I can forgive, but I'll never forget
How you put a price on my head!
Know your enemies well
Trust nothing and no one
'Cause, everything sucks
Know your enemies well
Don't sleep for a minute
'Cause, that's when you're fucked
Why?
I don't know how you can live such
Lie
To yourself, now I know who you are
Why?
I can forgive, but I'll never forget
How you put a price on my head!
There's got to be a better way!
